Before & After Photos

This client wanted a cooler second floor in the summer but wanted to maintain the storage space in the attic. We couldn't just blow cellulose insulation onto the deck.

The Solution? Super Deck! First we blew cellulose insulation under the deck to fill up the cavity below the floor. Second, we sealed the ends of the floor cavities with spray foam so no air could move under the floor. And third, we covered the floor with 2-in SilverGlo foam board that boosts the R-value of the platform to R-30. You can't see it in the pictures, but the SilverGlo was covered with a new layer of plywood for a durable starage surface.

No more comfort issues for this homeowner!

Weil-McLain CGa-3 Atmospheric Gas Boiler 70 MBH

The cost of home heating oil was killing this client's budget. Her old oil boiler provided both heat and hot water so it ran at 180-degrees all year long including the summer. The Bosch Combi boiler provides heat and hot water at 95% efficiency using inexpensive natural gas. And it only runs when there is a demand instead of wasting all the fuel being hot 24/7. It also varies the temperature of the boiler water sent to the radiators based on the outdoor temperature. this is a great feature that increases efficiency and prevents overheating in mild weather.

This boiler was installed several years ago by a competitor. The house never heated correctly after it was installed! An inspection revealed that it was not piped correctly per the manufacturer's instructions. It also wasn't vented correctly. Steam won't move if air can't move so venting is critical. We piped the boiler correctly and added all new Hoffman steam vents on the mains and radiators. Magically (not really), the house is heating perfectly and his gas bills will be 30% less than he paid last year. Don;t trust anyone other than Alber Service Company with your steam heating system!

The home owners are now looking forward to staying cool on those hot summer days with their new High Efficiency Amana Air Conditioner.
